Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28849)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to credentials are shared via headers when following cross-domain redirects. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51775)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion via large p2c (aka PBES2 Count) value and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23944)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in persistent watchers. A remote user can bypass implemented security restrictions and obtain user names or login identifiers.
4) Uncontrolled Memory Allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4068)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to NPM package `braces` fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. A remote attacker can send "imbalanced braces" as input, the parsing will enter a loop, which will cause the program to start allocating heap memory without freeing it at any moment of the loop. Eventually, the JavaScript heap limit is reached, and the program will crash.
5) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29041)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data in malformed URLs. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.
6) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4067)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability occurs in `micromatch.braces()` in `index.js` because the pattern `.*` will greedily match anything. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
